Quoll Colony

Two rival quolls, one moonlit scrubland, and a colony that grows one den at a time.

That's the only thing to do: on your turn, bud a new den into a cell next door, or hop a den exactly two cells and leave home behind. Every rival den touching the cell you land on somersaults over to your side, one after another, with a chime for each. When nobody can move, most dens wins.

• One landing can turn eight coats at once. Find the hole in the middle of their colony, drop a den into it, and watch the whole ring flip.
• Three rivals who each lose in a different way. Dot huddles and never takes the big flip. Banjo bites first and looks later, so bait him. Sable reads the exchange and counts the last cells better than you do.
• Weather that changes one rule a night: claypans that hold no den in a drought, mist that hides the diagonals, storms that drop logs a den can shelter under for good.
• A Daily Folio of five seeded challenges, the same for everyone: three par-move puzzles where the rival is asleep, a round on a parched scrub, and a duel with Sable under tonight's weather. Keep a streak and tomorrow is worth more.
• A Scrub Journal of 38 named moves and moments, each with a clue: Give to Get, Plug the Gap, Over the Top, Walled In.
• Hotseat for two at one keyboard, or one phone passed across the couch.

27 paw prints to earn across three scrubs (5 x 5, 7 x 7 and a rocky 9 x 9), 38 journal entries, 17 trophies, four leaderboards, and 365 days of Folios already proved solvable at par.

Calm, cosy and sharp: a round takes a few minutes, a move can be taken back, and the only clock is the moon.

Quoll Colony is free to play. Every scrub, every rival, the Daily Folio, Hotseat and the whole den kit are earned by playing. There is no paid content and there are no ads.

Plays on desktop and phones: a mouse, one thumb, or the keyboard alone, landscape or portrait. Your progress, and a round in progress, are saved to your Wavedash account.
